Table 10-3 shows the bit functions of the Debug Core Selector Register.
This write-only register generates a handshake to the core to transfer data to or from
Debug Core Register Data Register and the selected register. Until this core transaction
is complete, bit [16],
S_REGRDY
, of the DHCSR is 0.
Note
•
Writes to this register in any size but word are Unpredictable.
•
PSR registers are fully accessible this way, whereas some read as 0 when using
MRS instructions.
•
All bits can be written, but some combinations cause a fault when execution is
resumed.
•
IT might be written and behaves as though in an IT block.
